Here’s Sarah Palin being interviewed for some guy’s upcoming documentary about how the media stole her presidential victory and gave it to Barack Obama — TOO TRUE — by showing wholesale clips of her babbling embarrassing nonsense for minutes at a time, without interruption. This clip is over nine minutes long but we recommend watching it all, for hilarity. The best parts are when she’s watching old clips of herself being mocked on the interviewer’s portable teevee. She gets angry! [Big Hollywood]

Hey, isn’t that Nate Silver’s boyfriend, John “Wingnut” Ziegler? I hope he’s spending his own money on this…

Has anyone else notice that if you take Sarah Palin, switch the first letters, and read it, It sounds like parasailing? We shall reclaim the conservative values of this nation in 2012 by encouraging teenage pregnancy, wiretapping, and low-impact water sports!! Viva la revolution!

Who did her hair and makeup?

Dramatist

Oh my God. She refers to herself as “Mama Grizzly.” MAMA GRIZZLY. I shall now only refer to her as Mama Grizzly, and life will be beautiful, and plentiful, and we will not have recessions, and Jake Gyllenhaal will be my boyfriend. Sweet happiness of AWESOME.

mylesfromnowhere

this reminds me so much of my crackhead buddy trying to explain why he was no longer employed. He kept on and on about how everyone was lying on him, and against him, and everything he said was misinterpreted…even the k9 bitch who found the dope was against him because he had a cat…wait, I’m sorry, that was the discussion I had with the PUMA. Never mind…

She uses grammar like a salt shaker, sprinkling random words all over the place without any form or reason.

Um, are either of them currently in school? No.
Did they graduate? No.
Sorry, they are drop outs.

[re=213213]hockeymom[/re]: She’s trying to replicate the look that expensive stylist was giving her back in October. I’m pretty sure that’s the definitive “ur doing it rong” look though.

But shit… John Ziegler and Sarah Palin pretty much summarize the fucked up situation that is the GOP. These clowns are about as relevant as an eight track tape.

Poor Sarah, nothin’s her fault. Those nasty old folks in Alaska are now lookin’ into her governin’. It has to be the MSM fault, or Obama’s.

pedestrian rage

Uh…wow?

Perhaps if Mama Grizzly hadn’t tossed the kid with the extra chromosome around like a sack of potatoes (during those moments when he wasn’t being discretely perched on the teenager’s baby bump), the “media” wouldn’t have been so focused on the snowbilly clan.

Her level of self pity and inability to recognize irony are breathtaking.

Wow I wonder if she’s ever, ever, heard of William Jennings Bryan. Does she even realize her 2012 run for the presidency will be a carbon copy of his THREE failed attempts?

She’s laying the foundation. PLEEEEASE let her win the nomination!

Well, finally she answered the question, even if “Katie Couric is not the center of everyone’s universe” (that’s the pitbull in her coming out). She, like most seasoned diplomats and world leaders, gets her news from USA Today!

Is that one of her $150K outfits? Did she ever give all those hoity toity clothes the RNC FORCED her (& her loser family) to wear back to Walnuts after they broke up?

Seeing Sarah Palin angry and indignant makes me grin a bit. I wish someone would start posting videos of Bush having to watch every single video critical of him.

She seriously thinks she would have been “loved” as Barry’s VP pick? Put down the Oxycontin, Mama Grizzly.

Isn’t it great that, when given another chance to name something she reads, the best she can come up with is NY Times, USAT, and some widely circulated publications in AK that she can’t name.

I just love that she keeps shooting herself in the foot, and that Ziegler shows himself to be a useless lackey for the insane-o wingnut faction of the OP (The G for Grand really doesnt apply anymore).

The fact that she apparently has never seen the Couric intewrview when it aired, or the SNL stuff, or anything else, just backs up how out of touch and, well, fucking clueless she is.

Honestly, I hope she never goes away. I hope she continues to be the idiotic anchor that keeps dragging the Wingnuts down with her.

totoro

“Conservatives will be thrilled to know she immediately “got” and seemed to fully appreciate my joke that Pete Wilson (and not Arnold Schwarzenegger) would go down as the last Republican Governor in the history of California.”

He must have a rather low opinion of “conservatives” because, unlke Palin, reportedly, his audience needed the stupid and unfunny “joke” painstakingly spelled out for them with parentheses and air-quotes. Or, with some charity, it proves that Palin is in the top echelon of intelligence among his readers.

Texan Bulldoggette

[re=213242]assistant/atlas[/re]: No & for that Walnuts, who foisted her upon us, should be put in a padded room & be forced to listen to her talk/babble on endless loop until insanity or death strikes him.

jesus, i cant do this. i managed a minute and thirty, and while i congratulate her on complete sentences, nothing was demonstrably true. i dont recall the MSM! exactly running with the Trig story.

If I may summarize: Trig came from SP’s twat. The end.

MrAgro

Is it okay if I just call her Debbie Sparklecunt from now on?

V572625694

From Ziegler’s article: “Governor Palin, not yet fully put together, rushed out to tell myself and my crew to make ourselves at home.”

Oh man, don’t tease us like that! What the fuck kind of journalism is this supposed to be? How un-put-together was she, Ziggy? Was Todd’s jizz still dripping from her chin? Is she more La Perla or Victoria’s Secret?

springfield_meltdown

She isn’t complaining about the media’s focus on her family so much as her inability to manipulate the media and people using her family. Remember when she used the little girl as a human shield to try to convince hockey players not to boo her? Or using Trig as a prop for her anti-abortion rhetoric even though she could barely stand to hold him?

Of course Bristol and Levi won’t need government handouts to support themselves cause they just received $300,000 from people magazine for photos of little Tripp. They plan to invest that money in Beanie Babies, Bradford Exchange collectibles, a brand new double-wide, and several shares of Truck Nutz.

PrairiePossum

I can’t wait for the Couric/Palin interviews to be made into a movie like Frost/Nixon. If she doesn’t want to deal with the mainstream media, she and her hillbilly clan should stay in Wasilla.

I sincerely hope this woman sticks around for a long, long time so that we here at wonkette can continue to kick her in ovaries.

Kev-O-Tron

[re=213324]NoWireHangers[/re]: In fairness it wasn’t actually a push poll but more of a complete asshole poll.

[re=213258]V572625694[/re]: “widely circulated” Doesn’t she use one of her go-to words, greatly, instead of widely? You’ve actually edited her in a kinder, gentler fashion.

She uses those kids the way terrorists use human shields. She tossed around that look-I-didn’t-abort-this-retard prop baby so cavalierly, I began to think he wasn’t real. And as to little Trigger, as a mother who had her only kid when she was 35, I studied up on the subject, as Baby Boomer mothers did. Any cretin knows tjat if you know you’re going to have a special needs child, you have to be even more cautious about the delivery. And that when your water breaks (sorry, those of you who haven’t gone through it) you’re at much greater risk of infection and need to be very, very careful.

At least, that’s the way people who give a shit about the welfare of the poor baby do it.

Sarah? She flies to Houston at nine months (God forbid this woman would ever pass up the chance to get out of Alaska for free and have an audience, too), Her water breaks, she finishes business, takes a commercial flight to Anchorage, (what? nine hours? And you change fucking planes in Seattle) then land, drive past the Anchorage hospital’s state-of-the-art neo-natal facility, to deliver the kid in a bush hospital.

What the fuck? Did they figure it wouldn’t matter since he was going to be retarded, anyway? Or was it the vilest late-term-abortion plot ever hatched?

Jeepers, I am in such a grumpy mood I’d better go away. But the point is, though I read Wonkette for the humor, this is also one of the very few places on the planet where you can actually get away with saying a few truthful things. Like, Harry Reid is lame. Like the Israelis are treating the Palestinians as if they were 19th. century Native Americans.

And, yes, that Sarah Palin didn’t give a crap about that baby and uses her kids as political props/shields.

There, I said it. Will this ignorant cow ever, ever, ever go away?

My God. I barely lasted 20 seconds after the black screen stuff faded. I’m not sure which is more distressed by this woman, my soul or my bowels.

Snark aside, at least for today, Down Syndrome kids can be so sweet, trusting and innocent, I shudder to think how that opportunistic and power-hungry bitch is going to use that poor child between now and 2012. I hope he believes his loving mom when she tells him that hockey fans boo a person when they really like him.

I also hope she keeps those greedy tentacles around the RNC’s neck and never lets go. After foisting Reagan and Bush on the world, they deserve her.

Why praytell does this woman drop so many critical words from her speech, like pronounds, conjunctions and articles?

Wrote a funny song about Mooselini, but couldn’t bring myself to post it on our Web site (isn’t AP style ridiculous?). Any publicity is good publicity, and I had her name right. I didn’t sing it in public until after the election. Female Quayle is becoming instant nostalgia for the right-wingers who long for the bad old days of Reagan and the Shrubs, and they get very huffy if you mess with their misty memories. And there seems to be precious little that’s big or Hollywood about that site, dontcha know.

Prof. Junk

DON’T BOTHER WATCHING, I WATCHED IT FOR YOU.

Summary:

*Palin doesn’t understand why the media doesn’t correct false reports it made about her family that it never actually made.

*She knew the interview didn’t go well right after she did the interview and before it aired, and yet somehow the reason she looked bad was because of editing.

*Katie Couric is not the center of the universe.

*Caroline Kennedy hasn’t been put under the same scrutiny as Palin, even though (a) Caroline Kennedy isn’t running for Vice President of the United States, and (b) there has been a considerable amount of editorial scrutinty made against Caroline Kennedy lobbying for Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat.

*The media doesn’t like her because she’s a conservative, and she’d have been beloved by the media if she’d been Barack Obama’s Running mate (???).

*People should vote for her if they wanted limited government (an awesomely popular idea here in the year 2009) and let her record (or her campaign’s version of it) speak for itself.

Cape Clod

What a self pitying twat waffle. Your family got treated different from the Obamas because they are the Cosbys and your family is the dirtbag poor relations of the Clampetts. Only a screaming narcissist would step into the glare of the national spotlight with an unwed, five months pregnant teenage daughter and be unaware that this might be noticed and raise some questions.

Mustang

Why is it okay for her to lie about Obama? She says it’s “skeery for anonamus blaggers” to get to say stuff (freedom of speech?), but she lied about Obama and pretended he was some kind of insane terrorist. Why is that okay?

Gotta love her calling a TV commentator “evil.” By her own commitment to defeating evil at no consideration to lives lost, it’s safe to assume as President she’ll nuke NYC to defeat this evil man.

But rest assured, she had her 15 minutes of fame and will finish out her one-term job as “Earmark Administrator of The Alaskan Territory”. She will be soundly defeated in 2010 by a drunk and horny grizzly bear.

If the lower 48 knew how much of their tax dollars were going to the Socialist Republic of Alaska, they’d have a different take on Che Palin’s rugged individualism.

If your family has a legacy of squirting out babies at 16 yrs old, while you blather on about family values and jesus, you’re fair game. The Hopey’s have followed a more rational road to family life, like waiting until after high school

Despite all, she’s dangerous if she can keep the fat off her ass, which ain’t hard if you have Wasilla connections. hint:check out her eyeblink patterns, and L-Epedrine barrel shipments to Alaska, the State that never sleeps.

She came from Alaska, alas,
She had labia made out of brass;
When she clanged them together,
they played “Stormy Weather,”
and TRUCK NUTZ shot out of her ass!

[re=213461]Prof. Junk[/re]: Hmm, the she said interview sucked. It was then poorly edited to make her even suckier. Then explain what the hell I just watched. Even the conservative editing makes her look bad. And there are obvoiusly several cuts there where she probably went blabbering on that didn’t even make sense to the editor.

Please let her run again and please have these editors & pumas back her. By 2012 I think Alaska won’t even vote for her.
